Good to know
Is the bigha the same all over Assam?
- 1 bigha = 14,400 sq ft is used all over Assam, so about 3 bigha (3.025) make an acre.
- A katha in Assam is 2,880 sq ft, four times the 720 sq ft katha of West Bengal. Do not mix the two when you compare prices.
- Some government tables wrongly print 1 bigha = 2,880 sq ft; that figure is one katha.
- Parts of the Barak Valley (Cachar) are said to use a smaller katha. Check the patta if your land is there.
The numbers here are the commonly used sizes, for a quick estimate. For a sale, registry, loan or court matter, go by the area written in your land record (jamabandi, khatauni, 7/12 or patta), which is normally also given in hectare or acre, and ask the patwari or revenue office if your area uses a different bigha.
